Answer :

Using it's concept, the 47th percentile of the data-set is of 64.8.

What is the meaning of percentile?

When a measure is in the xth percentile of a data-set, it is greater than x% of the measures and lesser than (100 - x)%. Hence, to find the xth percentile of a data-set of n elements, we have to find the element at position (x/100) x n, as is the case in this problem.

In this problem, we have a data-set of 117 elements, hence the position of the 47th percentile in the sorted data-set is:

0.47 x 117 = 55.

The 47th percentile of the data-set is the 55th element of the sorted data-set, which is of 64.8.
